“There is no need for that.”
I stared at Yuni arrogantly.
“You can’t win.”
When I said that, Yuni smiled.
“is that so? I don’t think so?”
Having said that, Yuni walked towards the entrance.
“Then come back anytime if you change your mind. If you’re a senior, I can give you a second chance.”
I looked at Yuni’s back as she walked towards the entrance.
And looking at Rie next to me, she smiled.
“You think you’re going to be a little busy?”
Then Rie looked at me and asked a question.
“why… … Did you not accept the offer?”
“I’m crazy? Will you accept such an offer?”
It was a reasonable decision.
I don’t know the exact reason why Yuni wants to date me, but it was clear that he was trying to use it politically.
The intention was obvious, but it made no sense to accept this offer.
Even if he told me exactly what he wanted, he would think about accepting the offer, but accepting an offer from someone he didn’t know was foolish.
Also, there was a reason why I didn’t get it.
Lee.
Rie gave up her position as the student council president for me and took on herself as vice president.
We didn’t decide on each other’s top and bottom, but from the public’s point of view, the top and bottom are clearly visible.
It was an action that could be poisonous while Lie was aiming for the emperor’s seat.
If rumors spread that Yuni was dating me under such circumstances, Li’s position would be in danger.
Li’s younger brother is my lover, i.e., on an equal footing, and Lie’s reputation could be seriously damaged if she worked for me.
Lee believed in me.
He believed in me and took the position of vice president.
If you accept Yuni’s proposal to take the place a little easier here, you are betraying Li’s expectations and beliefs.
I have to take the seat of president in my own strength and live up to her expectations.
Because that would be the reward for Lee’s trust in me.
Of course, the emperor had asked Lie and Yuni not to fight, but this had nothing to do with it.
Isn’t it our fight?
Those who have come to fight need to be crushed.
As I was smiling, Lee tapped me and looked at me.
“So why didn’t you accept it?”
I’m a little too lazy to tell this story, so I just said it in a playful voice.
“It’s not my taste.”
“… … What?”
“You’re too childish. I don’t want to date someone who doesn’t like me.”
“… … .”
Lee looked at me like he was stupid.
Then he carefully opened his mouth.
“then… … What are your tastes?”
“uh?”
I was just joking, but I was a little embarrassed to react so seriously.
“Well… … Haven’t you thought too much about it?”
“You probably never even thought about it.”
“Is that important?”
I tilted my head and asked, Rie said with a serious face.
“It’s important.”
“uh… … .”
After thinking for a while, I opened my mouth.
“Your mother-in-law?”
“What?”
“Nice, wise, pretty… … What is it?”
Upon hearing this, Lie smiled bitterly.
“me?”
“… … .”
I wanted to bet on something else, but it wasn’t completely wrong.
Because I thought that Lee would be a good wife.
“Whoa, I’m not perfect.”
Seeing Rie sulking sullenly made me want to pick up my words.
@
time goes by.
Applications for the student council president election are closed.
Two people came out in the election.
I saw my name and Yuni’s name written side by side.
I skimmed through the list of student councils that UNI constituted.
Among them, two names stood out.
Diark Verdes and Evan.
1st year senior and 2nd year senior.
D’Ak, he’s a guy with original ambitions, so even so, when he saw Evan’s name, he had a puzzled expression on his face.
Evan’s name written on the vice-president’s seat.
Why did Evan join Uni’s student council?
Why did Yuni bring Evan into the student council?
These doubts quickly disappeared.
Why did Uni put Evan into the student council, and what was Uni’s strategy?
I quickly realized
Uni’s strategy was to split.
As I walked around the academy, I saw guys talking and talking to me.
“How much power do these nobles covet?”
“Aren’t those guys okay to graduate from the academy like this anyway?”
“The original ones are more greedy.”
Uni and Evan.
They both had something in common.
Evan was the chief, but he was a commoner.
And Yuni was the second princess, who was in the rear in the succession struggle.
On the other hand, our student council consisted of me and Lee.
I was pushed out of the struggle for succession, but the public opinion gradually improved and I was supported by many people.
In addition, Rie is already a talented enough to be called the next emperor.
He was already in a state of strong power and power.
As a result, it was difficult for us to win people’s sympathy.
If you think about it rationally, it was right for people with good work and power to become the student council, but voting was not so rational.
Uni’s student council aimed at that point.
Our student council already has power.
So, taking over the student council is an act of monopolizing power.
Isn’t it something the student council can make a little concession to?
These words began to spread through the academy.
“Why is everyone doing this to Rudy!”
Luna smirked and said to me.
“Well, just because you say that doesn’t mean things will change now.”
Luna and I were having dinner at the restaurant.
Luna had heard many rumors while working as a teaching assistant, and she seemed to be very angry about it.
“Rudy and Liena are all the results of hard work! I think I got it by working harder than them!”
Liena I’ve been working really hard.
So I got my current position.
By the way, isn’t it too robber to give up your seat in the student council just because you’ve gained such a position?
I sighed.
“How can you not change the way public opinion has already become… … .”
“However… … !”
As Luna’s voice grew higher and higher, someone shut her mouth.
“Eup… … !”
Looking at Luna’s back, Ena was covering Luna’s mouth, and Rika was standing next to her.
Anna said quietly.
“There are a lot of people around.”
open space.
There were people besides us.
It didn’t seem like a good thing to say.
“What if I’m sad?”
Ena said as she put the plate next to Luna.
“This is what the world is like these days.”
“What do you mean?”
Luna looked at Ena and tilted her head.
“The public opinion about the rebels is good these days. Inside and outside the academy… … .”
I nodded.
It was a story I heard from Lee.
Why was this public opinion created now?
It was largely the fault of the rebels.
According to Lie, it was for this reason that Uni signed Evan.
“Because the rebels are talking about breaking a system dominated by powerful people… … . I think that idea has spread a bit.”
The Academy is not the only place for nobles.
There were quite a few commoners in the academy.
Of course, these commoners had no noble ranks, but they were the sons of wealthy merchants.
However, it is difficult for them to rise to the position of aristocrats.
Noble positions could not be raised simply by having a lot of money.
ability.
taken from noblemtl.com
Magic, sword, or political ability is excellent in order to climb up.
identity limitations.
The rebels provoked this part.
Nobles monopolize power, and higher nobles monopolize their power even more.
So you have to turn this board over.
This was the rebel’s logic.
I wasn’t crazy.
It is a position that someone worked hard for, and people work hard to maintain that position.
By the way, how do you say that you monopolize power?
However, just because I don’t understand doesn’t mean everyone agrees with me.
You may pretend to agree for your own benefit, or you may really agree with that opinion.
It was an unavoidable part.
The problem was that the current election could not ignore that influence.
Evan.
Despite being a commoner, a being who overcame the restraints of princesses and dukes and occupied the top position.
Evan had no choice but to look like a hero to commoners in that regard.
Also, Yuni is the face of aristocrats.
If the Astrian family was the center of the aristocracy, it was Yuni who was in charge of that face.
Although Yuni did not have much influence on the aristocratic faction.
However, the aristocrats could not give up Yuni.
Because it was necessary to have uni to fulfill that justification.
The only person in the aristocratic faction who can occupy the emperor’s place.
that was uni
Still, the fact that this face was the same in the student council president election this time garnered support from the aristocrats.
Rather, to the aristocrats, I looked like a traitor, and there seemed to be an antipathy towards it.
Uni’s student council was supported by the aristocrats and commoners in this way.
However, we did not have such a strong support base.
On the contrary, he seemed to be a little comfy about politics.
Of course, Rie smiled at me and said it was okay, but I couldn’t help but worry.
“So, what are you going to do?”
Anna looked at me and said.
Ena and Rika also looked worried after seeing me for a while.
I said quietly to Anna like that.
“I have a lot of thoughts, but I haven’t decided yet.”
Then Luna looked at me and smiled.
“If it’s Rudy, you can do it! It’s in Lee too. If there is anything to help, I will do my best to help!”
“Thank you, Luna.”
First of all, what Li has entrusted to me is to conduct the election campaign normally and not be embarrassed by this situation.
I did my best for Lie’s requests.
In this political aspect, Rie was one step ahead of me.
Because he was a guy who overcame the evils of many aristocrats in the imperial family and marched forward proudly.
As much as Li believed in me, I also believed in Li and decided to wait.
Doing the best I can… … .
@
Rie was heading to the library with a book because Rudy and Luna had said that they should study together today.
Although the student council president election was important, he could not neglect his studies.
The midterm exam was soon after the student council president election, so I had to study in advance.
As I was walking down the hallway, I saw Yuni standing in the middle of the hallway.
Yuni was standing right looking at Rie.
Lie looked at Yuni for a moment and walked forward without speaking a word.
“sister.”
Then Yuni called Li.
Lie opened her mouth without looking at Yuni.
“I have nothing to talk about. Can’t we just not catch it?”
Yuni looked at Lee like that with haughty eyes.
“Do you think you can win this election if you and your senior work hard?”
Lie ignored such Uni and walked away.
However, Yuni continued.
“It’s nothing. give me senior If you just hand over the senior to me… … .”
When Yuni said that, Rie stopped walking.
Then he turned his head to look at Yuni.
“election? i’ll ask Do you think we’re going to lose to a guy like you who doesn’t even have the right mindset?”
Lie approached Yuni one step at a time.
“and… … .”
Lie looked at Yuni with anger-filled eyes.
“Rudy is not a thing.”
